Cm       Bb
Do you remember
D#  Bb   Cm7    Bb G#
Standing on the shore,
     Bb
Your head in the clouds,
     G#      G           Cm      Cm7
Your pockets filled with dreams.
Cm        Bb
Bound for glory
       D# Bb Cm7  Bb G#
On the seven seas of life,
        Bb       G#    G        Cm
But the ocean is deeper than it seems.

Cm           Bb
The wind was with you
         D#   Bb     Cm7 Bb  G#
When you left on the morning tide,
    Bb
You set your sail
       G#    G       Cm   Cm7      Cm
For an island in the sun,
         Bb
On the horizon,
D#   Bb  Cm7 Bb G#       Bb
Dark clouds up ahead,
        G#        G      Cm   Cm7
For the storm has just begun.

 Fm        C#
   Take me with you,
   D#            G#
   Take me far away,
 C#            D#             Bb
   And lead me to the distant shore.

Chorus:
   Gm          Bb
     Sail your ship
      C         Gm     Bb C
     Across the water,
   Gm            Bb
     Spread your wings
      C         Gm     Bb C
     Across the sky.
   Cm7        D#      F
     Take the time to see
     Cm7                 D#        F
     You’re the one, who holds the key,
   D#           F               C
     Or sailing ships will pass you by.

Cm          Bb
You cry for mercy,
         D#    Bb     Cm7  Bb   G#
When you think you’ve lost your way,
    Bb
You drift alone,
   G#       G       Cm    Cm7
If all your hope is gone.
    Cm                    Bb
And find the strength and you will see
     D#  Bb  Cm7    Bb   G#         Bb
That you controlled your destiny,
      G#    G         Cm
After all is said and done.

 Fm           C#
   So take me with you,
   D#            G#
